That never gets old; I wonder if Prime will be popping up here.
Now that all 52 titles are confirmed, I have had a mixed reactions over one renewal and one cancellation.
On one hand, Blue Beetle is back and I can't wait to see new adventures of Jaime Reyes.
On the other hand, Gail Simone's wickedly funny Secret Six is not being rebooted and will end in August.
Prime exists in 'our' universe (really our universe plus Prime), so of course he can be back! He can even continue to bitch about the DCU from within the DCU.
This could get awesomely meta if done right.

Oh frabjous day.
And given the stuff DC has done in those past years (and what they're apparently trying to do in the near future) even if there were a way to do Superboy Prime right (which I seriously doubt, I consider him a seriously massively stupid idea), I seriously doubt what passes for DC Comics these days is up to doing it.

'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'

Downsides first. I wanted to punch my monitor when I found out that Rob Liefeld was drawing Hawk and Dove. Poor Hank. Poor Dawn. Down with the man who drew Captain Titties! Tim's new outfit is meh. I seriously cannot imagine him being stealthy at all with the metal wing thing as his "cape." Also, didn't he complain about having to pick glass out of his hair without a cowl? I really wish they left Superboy and Supergirl's outfits alone.
On the upside, Batman and Robin will continue, as will Batman, Inc., and Jason gets rid of his penis helmet. Batwing looks interesting. Jonah Hex will continue in All Star Western, so that also makes me happy. Same with Jaime getting a series again and a new JLI run. I may look into Demon Knights. Paul Cornell left a good impression on me in Action Comics. I may look into Animal Man, given that I've heard good things about Jeff Lemire.

Looking over the solicitations, something just occurred to me.
Even with Barry's presence on the JLA and Bart in the Teen Titans, there's only one Flash-related book.
Now, I'm somewhat surprised given that:
a.) The reboot spins out of a Flash-centered summer event.
b.) DC's promises of Speed Force book in 2011.
Then again, DC's fucked around with the Flash so much since Infinite Crisis that I can't take them at the word anymore in matters related to the Scarlet Speedsters.
The absence of Wally -- and Jay Garrick -- is also annoying and worrisome.
There I said it. He is a stupid character that is horribly written and handled. The Speed force is stupid. Anti-Flash , or whatever he is called is dumb (if he is opposite, he should be super slow), how he uses his powers is retarded and the fact that he is always the douchebag of the group, at least when Hal Jordan isn't around, is annoying and overplayed.

Man, is it me, or has George Perez gotten worse over the years?

Is there a site that happens to have all the new character designs up for easy viewing or do I have to go through multiple newsites and links to get everything?
